Were talking 50+ years ago, it's a different world now.

I believe licensing wasn't quite the money grab then as it is today.

Plus there's probably licensing fees even for a 50 year old movie.

I like the way you think Randy.
However, some Kiljoy always has to play the "Licensing fees" card, don't they.

~~~^~~~^~~~Again, Lionel and the Margaritaville conglomerate are missing out not marketing the "Fins" box car~~~^~~~^~~~
Fees to the left, Fees to the right...!!! 

The "killjoys" as you put it, are the studio's.

Well, the "money grabbers" would be the biggest problem!

I seem to recall many years ago now that Tyco brought out an HO set modeled after Petticoat Junction which featured a steam train that ran through a fictional community and would set off passengers at a hotel/resort.  The show was still running when the set came out. Apparently, Tyco was able to work out the licensing issues with the show's producers. Maybe the producers thought it was a win-win for both sides, i.e. their show was being promoted by the set. If Tyco could do it, why not Lionel or MTH?"

Yes, why not?
